The bottom is torn out of the wet rag raincloudsSunset pouring moltenAcross the damp tawny fields whereMagpies hop and callIn endless congregationsOf black and white;A double rainbow standsSolid in the brilliant airFields and towns painted golden In the dusk at its footA monument in liquid light.

I am loving my cardio rotation enormously. Will apply for residency here. Even though I swore I'd never return to the central valley. Dang, how things change.

Had a cat with a V/VI left parasternal holosystolic murmur with a palpable thrill today; diagnosed on echo with tetralogy of Fallot. No one had seen a cat with this. IT WAS SO COOL! And the kitty (who was a big squishy sweetheart) had lived for 8 years like this!

Glad to know that someone has seen Tetralogy of Fallot...as Dr. Kelly told us last semester in SAM...if you see one of these in your lifetime go out immediately & buy a lottery ticket. So my dear...get your butt to the store & purchase yourself a lottery ticket!!!

Also glad to hear that this externship is going much better than the last. Enjoy your time out there is sunny California!!
